Guest Reviews
- Enrico (9/5): -
- FELIPE (10/5): -
- Bjarne (9/5): Gutes Hotel mit einer ordentlichen Zimmergröße und außergewöhnlichen Lage - Die Lage war unglaublich. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten liegen in Laufreichweite. Die Bahnen für Anbindungen in alle Himmelsrichtungen waren gut erreichbar.
Zu den bekannten Sehenswürdigkeiten musste ich gar nicht oder höchstens einmal umsteigen
- Ziya (7/5): -
- Juan (10/5): -
- Elishka (10/5): -
- carla (10/5): Un alloggio perfetto a Gion - La stanza, per essere giappone, molto grande. Personale gentile. Niente
- ivan2305 (10/5): -
- Camillan (8/5): -
- Evita (10/5): -
- Kai (10/5): The hotel team was exceptional and helped us with everything. - Good location and cute little hotel
- Łukasz (10/5): -
- Carol (8/5): - The location was wonderful, and within walking distance to all the main attractions. A really fun Karaoke bar next door which I would highly recommend. Staff was very accommodating. For the price, the room was very, very small, and the beds definitely could use an upgrade. Not comfortable.
- Mark (9/5): -
- Chaimaa (9/5): - Excellent location
Helpful staff Room was small but that's normal for japan
- Giovanna (9/5): Good! - I loved the location and the bathtube, perfect to rest my feet. The bed was super confortable. It was a little bit loud. You could hear every time someone walked outside the room.
- Alison (10/5): Had a fabulous stay. Beds were comfy and bathrooms appeared to be updated. And the staff were fabulous! - Friendly and helpful staff. Location and aesthetics. Nothing
- Liezel_Watts (10/5): Rinn Gion Kenninji - Fabulous location That I couldn't stay longer.
- Rosa (8/5): Excellent location and kind staff in an old beautiful part of Kyoto. - The location in old Kyoto is excellent for walking in Gion District and Higashiyma neighborhood, going to temples, and easy walking access to across the river for other attractions. The Gion-Shijo subway stop (Keihana LIne) is very close, maybe 5 minute walk. Quiet at night. Occasionally we heard street conversations since we faced the street. Many, many shrines and temples surrounding the hotel. Very good restaurants nearby. Front desk staff was very helpful even with the language barrier and translation apps helped quite a bit. Since we were there 7 days, having a washer/dryer before our next leg of the trip was very nice. We also had a few questions before we arrived, and their responses were always accurate, helpful and quick. Bathroom is way too small for a 6'6" guy. Accessing two suitcases in a tiny room is mildly annoying. The toilet flapper and float kept on breaking but we were able to make it work for the days we were there. The hotel staff did try but it just broke again. The next problem does NOT belong to the hotel. We made reservations with a deposit at two separate restaurants. Each time we arrive 5 minutes early, and then we were told "our reservation was, with regret, being declined." The sad explanation from some Japanese friends had to do with the fact that some restaurants don't want to deal with customers who don't speak Japanese. So our advice is to check with the front desk of the hotel to see if they can help in advance and make a call before you waste your time walking there.
- Enrico (9/5): Ottima struttura, pulita e ben posizionata - Posizione e Gentilezza del personale
- Bettina (10/5): -
- Emmanuelle (9/5): Excellent séjour ! - L'emplacement de l'hôtel, à proximité de stations de métro, bus et de Gion.
Personnel très accueillant.
Très belle décoration.
- Chris (9/5): - Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Very clean and good facilities. Nil
- ナオキ (9/5): - 到着が夜9時頃になりましたが 受付の男性の方が丁寧に気持ちよく対応していただきました 。また翌日の電動車椅子対応のタクシーをお願い しましたが しっかりと手配をしていただき助かりました。また翌日の 朝の女性のスタッフも笑顔で気持ちよく見送りしていただきました。 部屋も 清潔でシンプルで 快適でした。
- FLORIAN (8/5): Très bon séjour - La localisation et le personnel très agréable Devoir déranger le personnel à l’accueil pour ravoir des consommables
- Maeve (10/5): -
- Benjamin (10/5): Best place to stay in Kyoto, great location, great staff, great rooms - Location, staff, room size, beds, air con, everything was awesome
- Ximena (9/5): Excellent, we had a great time and walked everywhere. - The location is awesome, within walking distance to most visited temples, Gion, Pontocho alley, Imperial Palace and transportation to all others farther away. The staff is very kind and helpful. No space for toiletries or for luggage out of the way, but this has been the case for most hotels in Japan.
- Tobias (8/5): -
- Antonella (10/5): Tutto perfetto! - Posizione comoda per girare Kyoto. Staff sempre gentile e presente. Ottima anche la pulizia.
- VALLEIX (10/5): Exceptionnel - Tout simplement extraordinaire. Tout était absolument parfait. Rien.
- Ghislayne (10/5): -
- Marco (10/5): - La gentilezza e la disponibilità dello staff alla reception, il giorno del check-out ci hanno tenuto gratuitamente nel deposito le valigie tutta la giornata praticamente permettendoci di visitare Kyoto liberi anche l'ultimo giorno.
- sarah (10/5): Amazing experience! Definitely recommended for a space right in the heart of Gion - Everything Nothing
- PHILIPPE (10/5): Si nous devons revenir à Kyoto nous aimerions réserver le même hôtel. - L’emplacement de cet hôtel est parfait.
Station de métro à proximité et proche des commerces. La chambre est un peu petite mais très confortable
- Davide (9/5): -
- William (8/5): -
- Carol (6/5): - Location and view from window across to temple The size of the room was a shoe box and not even any room to put my suitcase and the bathroom you couldn’t move inside
- Melina (9/5): Recommend for whoever doesn’t mind walking and exploring! Start with the templo right next door! - Pretty much everything! Room is tiny but I guess it’s expected for Japan. It got really hot on our last morning there and the sun comes through right in the bedroom which isn’t a bad thing but the air con didn’t really work.
- Andy (9/5): -
- Andrei (8/5): Nice view for a small comfort. - Location and the view from the room on 4 th floor on Kenn inn ghi temple. Very helpfull personnel. The room has almost no space for any kind of clothes or personal things. Not even simple hangers for out door wear. The open wardrobe is so narrow that 3 hangers are jamming clothes.
- Anne (10/5): -
- Carlos (10/5): Excellent choice in great location - Location was great. Yang at front desk was very helpful and nice. Room was very clean and nicely decorated.
- Bouché (9/5): -
- Jose (8/5): Great location - Location, clean and bright room. There is no wardrobe in the room, so there is nowhere to store clothes from your suitcase.
- Robyn (7/5): Great option if you want to explore Gion. - Loved the location in Gion-walk to station, markets, shops, temples, restaurants and gorgeous lanes with traditional housing. Staff were wonderful. Street noise at night. We needed the window open for fresh air but cars, taxis and people walking past are right outside the window. Very expensive in cherry blossom season.
- Talgat (8/5): Персонал заботливый, расположение отличное, отель чистый все вроде продумано, но замурованные окна и пластиковый санузел - Расположение Окна есть но их нет. Они закрыты так что в номере всегда ночь. Также не понравился санузел.
- Eleni (7/5): It was decent but very basic - The location was very central and convenient and the staff were helpful and friendly. The room was way too small for two people with suitcases. Also they still have awkward room keys when almost all hotels in the world have upgraded to cards, and check-out was as early as 10am when most places give you at least until 11am.
- Holcomb (3/5): Compact hotel with a great location, moldy bathroom - great location I got pretty sick while I was staying here. Symptoms would worsen when I was in the hotel room. I noticed mold on the shower curtains which could’ve been the reason
- Kiran (7/5): Nice hotel in a great location - Location and staff were excellent.
- NEJJARI (10/5): -
- Asturiyanti (9/5): Would stay here again and again. - The location is amazing, the view from Room 301 is beautiful and the room was nice and comfortable. Staff was also really friendly and helpful.
I would definitely stay here again. No complaints.

- marielena (9/5): 4 giorni a Kyoto - La zona tranquilla vicino al parco, ai negozi e al fiume.. La stanza piccolina, ma dotata di tutti i comfort. Bagno piccolo ma funzionale e pulito.
Ci hanno pulito la stanza a metà soggiorno e cambiato gli asciugamani, gratuitamente su richiesta.Lo staff gentile e disponibile per ogni richiesta. The e caffè a disposizione nella camera. La.peesenza di un umidificatore per aria secca. I prodotti per il bagno di alta qualità.
L'albergo in stile semi tradizionale Poco spazio per mettere vestiti e valigie, la lavanderia con monete da 100yen, difficile da utilizzare, perché istruzioni non inglese.
La stanza al piano terreno,accanto all ascensore avrei preferito averne una al terzo piano
- karen (8/5): always a pleasure. love the staff. - cannot beat the location and the staff is fabulous. beds were so small (i'm 90 lbs and my husband is 120 &6' tall -we're tiny) we couldn't fit on one twin bed comfortably so had to sleep on separate beds. but that's fine.
- Lea (8/5): -
- Karin (10/5): Top! - De bedden waren prima, superfijn dat je kunt wassen en drogen en dat er een aparte rooktuimte is.
- Mai (10/5): We will come back - Staff are friendly kind and helpful All good
- Helen (10/5): -
- Krizia (8/5): -

- Laurine (8/5): Bon séjour emplacement pratique - Très bon emplacement pour visiter Gion à pied, literie confortable et personnel accueillant. L’hôtel est un peu vieillissant notamment au niveau du plafond un petit rafraîchissement ne ferait pas de mal, pas de vue fenêtre qui donne sur un mur, nous avons eu une très belle réduction donc le prix était très bien pour cette chambre, je n’aurai pas mis plus.
- Stephen (10/5): Best location with high end facilities - Superb location with everything required for an excellent stay Nothing
- Chantelle (10/5): -
- Boland (9/5): -
- Chiao Hsuan (10/5): - 離市中心有點距離 但走路也不會太遠 晚上很安靜
- Alisa (8/5): Zentrale Unterkunft - Top Lage mitten im Zentrum von Kyoto. Ein sehr kleines aber gemütliches Zimmer. Wir waren 5 Nächte im Hotel und es wurde leider keinmal geputzt, obwohl uns zugesagt wurde, dass ab 4 Nächten 1x geputzt wird. Wir hatten leider auch keinen Besen oder Sonstiges im Zimmer, um selbst einmal durchzuwischen. Dementsprechend war es dann schnell dreckig. Auch Handtücher wurden nicht gewechselt.
- Brenda (10/5): Great location and wonderful experience. - I loved the ambience of our room. It was clean and had everything we needed. The front desk staff was very kind and welcoming. Will definitely stay there again. People may say the room is small but I think that it adds to the experience of being in Japan.
- Brooke (10/5): -
- Esenkeldi (10/5): Perfect place with best staff - Everything was perfect. Location, cleaning and especially staff they were really helpfull and nice. Nothing
- Lavina (10/5): -
- Brian Alan (9/5): -
- Sharmaine (10/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): Ideal location, clean rooms, great staff - Staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was spotless. Location was about a 5 min walk from all the restaurants and had a subway station next to it. Shower room was just about tall enough for me, but I understand Japan is not made for people 6ft 3.
- Coco (10/5): -
- Khaled (5/5): Je ne le recommande pas - L’emplacement Le système de chauffage/climatisation qui fonctionne par intermittence
Pas de restauration
Salle de bain trop petite
Rapport qualité/prix: défavorable
- Hugo (7/5): - The location was amazing, staff very friendly and the hotel was well kept. The room felt a little cramped. It felt like it could be rearranged to maximise space
- Monika (10/5): - The hotel is really nice and the staff is friendly. Location is great for going out and connection to main lines. Already recommended it to a friend.
